Didn't Elon previously say people they reject go to apple?

Wait, you mean bank employees could previously install random apps on their phones?

The article makes the assumption that this device uses a brand new OS but I suspect it's just android with some additions. A team of 40 cannot create anything that competes with the android of today. Not even Andy can do that.

There is really nothing wrong with committing often. For me a unit of work can be fixing a typo. Of course if you share code with others or user CI/CD you might want to commit only working code. You can always rebase before pushing ups

I stopped reading right there. If you live in a bubble that small I am probably not going to learn anything from reading your article...

Isn't this against the chrome ToS? Can Google retaliate by removing their extension from the store?

Preemptive PSA: No nobody reads all your email, the files are flagged by an automatic system and sent to these guys for manual inspection. Its in their EULA when you sign up. Not sure if Google and Apple do the same.

Is momentum same thing as media exposure? Isn't that very dangerous? Wouldn't it make open source much less democratic since the guy with friends in media will always win instead of the guy with the best ideas?

> It sounds to me like you're taking the point of view of someone who values openness for openness' sake. For libre, because it's right. But the Foundation members like openness because it's good business. Not at all,

The point I am trying to make is that you are trying to solve the wrong problem, just because it happens to be a fun problem. To address your last statement from another angle: this is not the first FOSS cpu, it only happen to be hipp right

If that is your main concern, why not use another foss cpu with better maturity (leon, openrisc, sparc, lm32 and others) or even an open implementation of a commercial cpu?

by bostand 10y ago
I find the "open the ISA and they will come" attitude very odd. The ISA is the least of your problems. In fact the cpu itself is not really an issue at this point. If you look up what linus and others have been complaining about i

These are very valid concerns. I should also add that the "boring" mips is right now significantly more open than riscv, more mature and easier to get hold of.

The good thing about this kind of data mining is how easy it is to feed it bogus data. Give it a try, create a partially fake identity of a fairly rich man and see what happens ;)

I very much doubt osx let's you disable all data collection and still allow you use the store and its apps and iTunes content and all that.

To be fair, you should expect that from any Google project. Remember their popular RSS reader service? If you think this change is crazy, wait until they reveal the changes they have planned for android later this year.

Ubuntu is still doing some questionable things. At least on 16.04 gvfs-http would sometimes create hundreds of connections to the mothership even with all privacy settings maxed out.

> I know what it should do, and I use it regularly. Kind if off-topic, but I have to ask. Why do you use autoremove regularly? The amount of storage that is wasted it negligible so I barely bother with it, even inside vms and containers

That's odd, that should not happen. If it is true, please don't use the text template as a quick fix. A lot if security thinking went into the html template and without it you will have xss all over your code. Edit: sure enough, i

More importantly, the cross platform router worm that was ddos-ing everyone a few months back was written in go and will not be able to upgrade to 1.8 :)

autoremove removes packages that are no longer used and should not affect anything. However, if you have messed with your system (eg manually copied some software or edited a configuration you should not have touched) then autoremove may re

Yeah, but they also started a number of projects only to kill them later (eg Silverlight). This was very annoying for developers who had invested a lot of time. Hopefully things will be more stable now.

As someone who uses Linux at work without any issues whatsoever I have to ask: What are these crazy Linux bugs people are talking about? And why does it always happen to macbook users?
